These are Cannonball chords by Zach Bryan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[Verse 1]
A
We've come a long way since those
D
drunk days on backroads
F#m
You and your high hopes always stayed
down
E
You always saw the best in me,
D
high in Yosemite, we hide
A
Now I'm driving through Reno,
D
those goddamn casinos,
you always kept God close
F#m
Except that time you bet it
E
all on black,
D
came back to the room with twenty grand
[Chorus]
F#m
And you were smiling like a thief
E
with your cheek-tearing teeth
A
You was praying to Jesus,
D
we was running from the police
F#m E
They're using my muses to make
fun of me
A
And your face up while your
D
blood sucks from an IV
[Verse 2]
A
We spent it all on gasoline,
D
PCH to Cannon Beach
F#m
Laid in the sand and, man,
I have never seen
E
Something more beautiful
D
than you and your cannonball
A
And we've come a long way
D
since that shit banned at the Blue List
F#m
You said anything other than
E
another fuking cover
D
of "Only The Good Die Young"
[Chorus]
F#m
And you were smiling like a thief
E
with your cheek-tearing teeth
A
You was praying to Jesus,
D
we was running from the police
F#m
They covered all the songs
E
that are best kept alone
A
'Cause your cannonball sits
D
on Cannon Beach alone
F#m E
They're using my muses to make
fun of me
A
And your face up while your
D
blood sucks from an IV
[Verse 3]
A
And I never thought it'd be you
D
I always thought I'd beat you
to the Golden Gates
F#m
Won't you wait a few hours
E
there by the door?
D
We've all been here before
A
But you stood up on your own,
D
your mom called my telephone
Said you've been standing
F#m
and rambling about gambling
E
And howling out in the night
D
high in Yosemite
[Chorus]
F#m
And you were smiling like a thief
E
with your cheek-tearing teeth
A
You was praying to Jesus,
D
we was running from the police
F#m E
They sold off the town we used
to call home
A D
And your cannonball sits on Cannon
Beach alone
[Break]
F#m E A
[Outro]
F#m
So call up your brothers,
E
won't you take you a ride?
A
There are cannonballs falling
in the heat of July
F#m
call up your brothers,
E
won't you take you a ride?
A
There are cannonballs falling
in the heat of July
F#m
call up your brothers,
E
won't you take you a ride?
A
There are cannonballs falling
in the heat of July
F#m
call up your brothers,
E
won't you take you a ride?
A
There are cannonballs falling
in the heat of July
F#m
call up your brothers,
E
won't you take you a ride?
A
There are cannonballs falling
in the heat of July
F#m
call up your brothers,
E
won't you take you a ride?
A
There are cannonballs falling
in the heat of July
